An unforgettable experience
It was a cold winter day. I rushed down the busy road towards the bus stop. Taxis passed me one after another
36 I didn’t have enough money to get one. My wallet was in my pocket but
37 I had was a five-yuan note. Taking a bus would
38 three, so I would be left with only
39 to buy something to eat. I was very hungry as I had only eaten one meal all day. Waiting at the bus stop, I
40 eagerly for a store
41 I could buy food. Then I heard an old woman’s voice
42 behind me, “Steamed corn(蒸玉米)！Steamed corn！One yuan each!” Her voice was breaking and
43 deep despair. Staring at the old woman, I felt pity. She was
44 ,just like a beggar. But she was much older than the other beggars in the street. Her face was
45 and her eyes were full of tears. Her large withered(干枯的) fingers kept a tight hold on her basket of steamed corns. What had happened to her? Why was a woman
46 selling corns on such a cold evening? I felt sad. I had to do something. I took the five-yuan note from my wallet and handed it to her. She had said each steamed corn cost one yuan, so I could buy
47 . But if I did that, I would have nothing
48 to pay for the ticket. I wouldn’t be able to get home. Finally, I decided to give the woman two yuan for one steamed corn,
49 my pity for her. To my surprise, she refused to accept the
50 one yuan, saying she wanted to work for her money. She was already
51 to me because I was the only person to buy steamed corns from her all day.
I was
52 moved. She was so old and weak but chose to sell snacks
53 beg. From that moment, I had
54 for her, and didn’t feel pity any more. The corn was sweet and delicious. But
55 made me happier was that I helped a respectable old woman as much as I could.
